This episode is hosted by Dr. Anna Gunz, with guest Dr. Gordon McBean
This episode confronts the reality of the climate crisis, framing it around the UN’s "code red for humanity." Reflecting on a career dating back to the 1970s, Dr. McBean shares insights from helping form the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and breaks down how political shifts historically derailed major agreements like the Kyoto Protocol in Canada.
The conversation highlights the urgent need to balance emissions mitigation with adaptation as severe weather disasters worsen. It also calls out the fossil-fuel-funded interests that have successfully manufactured delays in climate action for decades. Ultimately, the discussion focuses on our ethical duty to future generations, calling for deep collaboration across sectors, including healthcare. Despite these massive hurdles, Dr. McBean finds optimism in the rising energy of young activists and a growing corporate recognition of the crisis.
